The first is for diagnostic purposes; When a tumoral mass is suspected in the large intestine or whether the bleeding from the rectum is a simple lesion or a cancer formation, it is helpful in diagnosing. Cancers of the large intestine are largely caused by small and benign urns called polyps. However, these products can acquire bad characteristics over time, that is, they can become cancerous. With the help of colonoscopy, it is possible to remove them and follow the patient.

Colonoscopy is the imaging of the large intestine with a tube called a colonoscope. Thanks to this, polyps, cancerous cells and abnormal structures in the large intestine can be diagnosed. With colonoscopy, the goal is to determine whether the person has any diseases of the large intestine such as colon cancer, ulcerative colitis, etc. The procedure usually takes 30 minutes and does not cause any severe pain or cramping in the patient. The next day, the patient can continue his normal life. Colonoscopy allows early detection of colon cancer. Anyone over the age of 50 can have a colonoscopy reduce their risk of developing colon cancer by at least 30%. Repeating a colonoscopy every 10 years increases the early diagnosis rate by up to 80%.
